Purplemem, you surely know a few of my friends. My classmate Ida lives in Soldier and used to be the mayor there. Also Martha Federick who lives in Effingham with her husband, Roger, who is a minister. I think he is pastoring the church in Whiting now. I worked at the Horton Hospital until I retired last year. My how small the world is now because of the internet
I live on a farm between Everest and Effingham.
Hope we get a weather break soon. Yesterday was miserable. Hope you live somewhere a little cooler and less humid. Have a good week and God bless you for keeping this thread going.
